Tenant Eviction in MA

[Amit Singh]

I have Tenant in Massachusetts who has been living on property for last 6 years. He has paid rent but always late and usually pay around 10-15 of the month. I have to go and collect Rent in Cash as previously his cheque has bounced , he fails to do online transfer like Vaymo and have to constantly remind him to pay rent . For the month of July 2019 he as not paid rent yet and i have tried to reach him many time but no rent paid yet and any indication when he will pay.  I have serve him a 30 days notice period to quit which will end in August 30 . I really doubt he will pay and planning to go to court to evict him. I have few question on this process and i have read a lot but like to confirm from fellow landlord who have gone through this Pain. I have email from earlier time where his cheque have bounced or he is late etc.

1. IF he donot evict after Judge tell him in our first hearing then can i take the Sheriff to evict him or Do i have to file another court hearing to get him out . What is the law in Massachusetts

2.Can i ask Judge to garnish his wage for unpaid rent and my other charges which i pile up during this process . if yes , what is the process

3. if he just vanish and leaving his stuff behind then can i garbage his stuff after giving him 5 days notice. I have his email , phone number and address where he works OR i have to put stuff in Storage unit.

4. How can i enter my property for the time he is living . Can i send him a text that i will be coming to property with 1 hour notice.

5. Is it legal to send summon to his office address

Really appreciate information on this area and any reasonable lawyer someone can refer who donot cost too much.

Thanks
